Chapter 5 - Attack of a real Demon

  As I was laying in my bed towards the middle of the night, I felt a huge spike of chakra. Sitting

  up abruptly, I sprang out of my bed and sprinted out of the building. This amount of chakra could

  only be one thing. I had read about them in The 9 Tailed-Beast. I was fairly sure I was right.

  And, after I got outside, I was certain.

  This...monster was massive. I saw him swipe his paw and a building flew into the air. Around the beast, I

  saw flashes of yellow, but I never caught what it was exactly. In excitement, I sprinted to it. Yeah,

  I know, stupid right. But when you've been stabbing knifes right in your chest, death doesn't seem that

  scary.

  In my sprint, there were all kinds of screaming, panicking people running past me in the opposite

  direction, and some kind of siren started going off. I guess it only took them about 5 minutes to sound

  that.

  ...

  I was quickly narrowing on the location. Whoever was fighting it was leading it away from the village.

  The pressure from the beast increasing each step. Then I saw huge chains spring up and around

  the giant beast, pulling it down.

  "...Naruto...we love you..." I heard to my right, as the beast started swirling down.

  A babies peircing cry sounded out, and I sprinted over to the sound. What I saw made my heart clench.

  A man and woman, I can only presume to be the parents hovering over the baby, dead.

  I walked up to the child.

  "So this is a Jinchūriki... Tiny little thing, aren't you?" I said while I crouched down to pick him up.

  He's a little big for me, but with my strength it wasn't too bad.

  Sensing several signatures coming towards us, I sat down criss-crossed to wait for them with Naruto

  in my lap.

  'He's just like I was in my first life. I'm sure he'll be ostracized also.' I thought sadly.

  Several masked individuals appeared in the clearing. All tense and holding weapons.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  "Who are you!?" One of them yelled.

  "Stop, she's a child of the village." Hiruzen said from behind them.

  "Gris, what are you doing here?" He asked walking up to me.

  I was bouncing the crying baby on my lap, and he finally started calming down.

  "What's going to happen to him?" I asked with a sad tone.

  Hiruzen gave me a pained expression. "He'll be going to orphanage, unfortunaly we can't allow

  him to be adopted." Now that he's a Jinchūriki, was left unsaid.

  I simply nodded.

  ...

  The months leading up to me going to the Academy were spent with me helping take care of Naruto.

  I really did sympathize with the boy, and I just hope it never gets out that he's a Jinchūriki.

  At first, the caretakers wouldn't let me near him, but my persistence paid off.

  But, one day, when I was holding Naruto something strange happened.

  "What are you, child." A deep voice resounded. I instantly started searching around me in panick.

  It's very rare for me to be snuck up on.

  "I am in the Jailor, fellow tailed-beast. Although I have never met you before." The voice said.

  "Jailer? You mean Naruto?" I asked.

  "Yes, this cursed child." Only now am I realizing that he's not actually speaking aloud.

  "Are you the Nine-Tail Beast?" I asked curiously.

  "I am. I am certainly curious of where you came from though. Did Hagoromo keep you hidden?"

  The beast asked.

  "Wait. Who is Hagoromo? And what do you mean I'm a tailed-beast? I was told I'm a summon." I spoke.

  "Hahahah... A summon wouldn't hold as much chakra as you hold. Yours almost equal mine. And I feel

  the Tailed chakra within you." The beast said.

  "I think I should point out that I don't have any tails. And wouldn't all Tailed beast have

  different chakra?"

  "I cannot see you, I am stuck in this hideous thing. But no, all Tailed beast used to be a single

  being. Hagoromo is the Sage of Six Paths, and also the one that seperated us out. It is very

  unusual that you have power equal to mine unless all the other tailed beast combined to make you. I

  have been out of touch with them, as I've most the time been sealed."

  "Why did you attack the village? You've left this child an orphan, and you don't seem the type to

  randomly attack villages. That would make more sense for a rabid animal."

  "I was not in control. An Uchiha used his Sharingan to force me to attack after I was unsealed.

  If I had my way, I would make sure the Uchiha's were extinct."

  "Sharingan? I wasn't aware it had the power to control a tailed-beast."

  "There are very few that have the power to do so, unfortunaly I ran into one."

  I hummed in response.

  "I would be grateful if you could figure out how to unseal me. I have been sealed for more years

  than most of the other tailed beast."

  "Is it such a good idea if there's an Uchiha who can control you out there."

  "...You have a point. Will you please still research it?" He sounded almost sincere. Almost.

  "Maybe!" I said in a cheerful tone, that didn't fit into the atmosphere.
